Directions - Take I-70 to the Rabbit Valley Exit, its right near the UT - CO border..  Conveniently located bettween Moab and Grand junction if your traveling.  I suggest parking at the Mcdonald Trailhead that they say requires high ground clearance Vehicle..  There are to roads that get you to the Mcdonald, the road on your right IS FOR HIGH CLEARANCE ONLY!!  Our rental SUV scrapped down one section, but I wanted to get my $$'s worth..  If you take the left road, you can Probably get in there with a minivan or the like but use your own judgement.  Mcdonald Parking area is 2.86 miles in, you cant miss it, big ole pear shapped rock, adjacent a public bathroom!

Description -   Don't be afraid of all the moto's and ATV's in the parking lot, this is a rippin fast fun single-track ride..   There are some bits of sand here and there, but nothing to even scare PMD away.  This is a Lollipop Loop.  Go out on Trail #2, starts out as atv double track with some whoops, moderate climb, turns single-track, where it forks, I found the beginner side (right turn on the way out) to be more fun both ways..  Trail turns into pretty nice singletrack with just a few tech sections.  At the end of the trail you hit a funny intersection with kokapelli, look for the sandy doubletrack that heads out towards the rim, on the way out there is a sandy right double that we explored first, it was ok, seemed to follow the rim, but much sandier..  So dont take that!!  Keep traveling untill you start descending and turning left (towards east rim), and look for Right single-track that starts out sandy, but only for 30 feet..    Once your on the rim the trail is awesome for 7 miles, predominantly slightly downhill with short ups you can hammer down it.  Some nice slickrock sections and a few technical things but mainly buff fun singletrack..  Once you get off the rim, the fun is not over, next section has some sweet flowy DH sections with some pump track whoops and jumps.  Finally you intersect with fire road, take right, follow to kokapelli, take another right..  Follow Kok, back to trail #2 and surely take trail #2 back home, its 90% DH fun..  Oh yeah, amazing views from the west rim!  Trail is similar to marys loop, but singletrack and mostly downill.

This loop was a really good use of your earned vertical, didn't beat you down, It was an awesome ride..

Loops -Suggest you take the west rim loop CLOCKWISE
